The investment in roads and road transportation forms a major part of a government's stock of public capital. Furthermore, the importance of roads and related economic assets make it vital that these should be well managed to ensure optimum use of the road network. The severe cutbacks in road funding during recent years have, however, made it difficult even to maintain the existing road network properly. The response of the South African Department of Transport has been to match expectations of the long-term funding arrangements with the needs of the road network through strategic management. Strategic management necessitated an integrated road management system especially because the Department of Transport is responsible for managing the entire road network administered by various regional authorities. South Africa opted for a modular system that embraced a number of subsystems, of which the pavement management system has been developed to a greater extent than the others. A further need was for compatibility among the various regional systems to obviate a possible mismatch of fund allocations by the Department of Transport. To this end, the Committee for the Compatibility of Pavement Management Systems was formed in 1989; this committee represented each government road authority. The committee has made substantial progress toward achieving compatibility through the publication of manuals and guideline documents and the standardization of data processing formulas. The process is, however, not complete, and a number of newly crystallized goals are being addressed.

The proceedings of the Third International Conference on Managing Pavements is published in three volumes. Volumes 1 and 2, published prior to the conference, include papers to be presented at the conference. Volume 3, published after the conference, contains additional papers presented at the plenary and workshop sessions.
